Have you ever donated blood before?

yes i donated blood once at a blood drive in middle school. i passed out unconscious for like two hours and they told me not to donate blood anymore

I tried before and got denied. I don’t have any medical issues but I couldn’t get myself calm enough for my pulse to be “normal” for them.

I never have successfully donated blood.
The first time I went, I fainted.
The next time, I had broken my ankle and they wouldn’t take it because I was on crutches.
Then for many years I was “permanently banned” because I was “a man who had had sex with another man since 1977, even once”....and I wasn’t going to lie about it, even though I knew that I had been tested and wasn’t HIV positive.
While they reduced that from “lifetime” to "1 year” a few years ago, and down to “3 months” due to a blood shortage due to COVID-19, I have not donated since.

Yes and yes.

Never again.. too many Qs..
.. who’s blood is it..
.. why is it in buckets?..

No but I really want to. I should go try now that my hematocrit is fairly good for my condition and my weight is appropriate too.

I tried once in college but got disqualified.

After that I never thought about it.

Yes, I've donated more than 5 gallons, but haven't donated in a long time.

I have donated several times, mostly to the red cross

Yes, I'll be donating again tomorrow.

yes..but not for a while..

No. I would happily do so, but I'm not eligible.

I do it, regularly, whenever i have chance ..

Not frequently but always do.

Yes I have but not on a frequent basis

Yep. I did once, wanna do it again.

Going back to the 70s.

all half year i do

Since '83

done it a few times

Not blood, plasma. Fortnightly.

yes 80 times

No. I was anemic for a while and my blood was pretty much garbage. Now that I'm healthier, I'm kind of reluctant to part with any.

No.

Just once
